The Warm-Up: Starting Your Writing Session

“Discipline is based on the practice of following a routine - executing a task and delivering results. It manifests itself by honing the keys to self-motivation. Like a sharpshooter, your consistent approaches to review go on autopilot, enabling you to hit the target every time.” (In Her Own Ink: Strategies for Creating from Author to Author, Ashley Smith)


    When I wrote my first book, I worked with a coach. We dived into my book project religiously. Although she was a drill sergeant, she kept me on track and disciplined to keep the course. I encourage you to work with IN HER OWN INK to stay accountable to your dreams and make them become reality, NOW. However, don’t be alarmed, I’m not a drill sergeant! You can fulfill your vision and come out on top of the writing demands.


Being Receptive

    Before I begin working on my book I carry out a routine. This habit is my warm-up. It prepares me to get into the zone. Initially, I set up the atmosphere to be receptive to generating creative energies. 


    Clearing my workstation and reciting reaffirming personal statements to reinforce my abilities that is to produce great content. I believe this approach to developing your mindset for the writing ritual will help you master approaches to your session.


Laser Focus

    After I set the stage, I perform my usual routine which consists of watching the same performances to stir my emotions and trigger my passion to tackle the paper. Also, listening to motivational speakers. Then I review my notes and outline.


    This pattern is my recipe to successfully activate my power thoughts. I go onto autopilot and recreate laser focus. This method will help direct your pen in the right direction among your other thought-provoking habits to develop a powerful, productive writing session.


“Discipline is the art of repetition, the ability to effectively start and maintain momentum. It’s essentially implementing your strategies to turn on the heat to think and create. It is flipping on the switch to those power thoughts. Discipline is being intentional, activating your creativity, and reinforcing your strengths and skills.” (In Her Own Ink: Strategies for Creating from Author to Author, Ashley Smith)

Keep Your Eye on the Prize

You’ve started writing your book and the motivation drops as well as your progress. How do you stir your passion? How can you rekindle your flame? When I hit a roadblock, I’ll do one of these three activities or all of them.  Reflect on my reasons. Revert to my writing ritual. Review the list of questions my reader may have. Proven-Strategies for Creating      In the beginning stages, I’ll jot down my reasons for publishing. Five or more reasons I deserve to publish. I keep this note in the miscellaneous section of my binder.

Before I dive into my book project I commit to a few initial steps. They establish the foundation. I carry out these practices to ensure focus and motivation. While there are several approaches to book writing, I’ll bring our attention to getting organized. Setting the Foundation      First, create book objectives. This is the purpose of the book.
